To Honda R&D Dept and Staff:

I have come up with a new and innovative option that may be easily installed on all automobiles. If you’re interested. It’s small, but very practical.

not spending on r&d a mistake? no way!
if they have this much common sense why does the ridgeline look like it does?

for domestics perhaps but Nissan… their current CVT even outperforms Honda’s. Though I have to say Nissan’s main problem lies in the poor interior quality.

GTO: outside looks. It has the mechanicals and interior to seriously perform, but it looks like someone made a silly putty mold of a 1st gen Hyundai Accent and stretched it.

Catera: bland styling inside and out. questionable reliability. Came too early, a rwd BLS for america would sell exceptionally well now.

R&D SHOULD NOT be limited to high-tec features.

Sometimes the lowest tech features can create the greatest product developments.

Complicated and electronic is NOT always the most sophisticated.

“if car makers don’t spend the necessary funds on R&D choosing instead to retain a high margin, things will eventually catch up with them�?

Who could disagree with that? Ford and GM proved his point long ago…
